Answer:
The number ratio is 4:7
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Compound 1 has 50.48 % oxygen
Compound 2 has 36.81 % oxygen
Molar mass oxygen = 16 g/mol
Molar mass manganese = 54.94 g/mol
Step 2: Calculate % manganes
Compound 1: 100 - 50.48 = 49.52 %
Compound 2: 100 - 36.81 = 63.19 %
Step 3: Calculate mass
Suppose mass of compounds = 100 grams
Compound 1:
50.48 % O = 50.48 grams
49.52 % Mn = 49.52 grams
Compound 2:
36.81 % O = 36.81 grams
63.19 % Mn = 63.19 grams
Step 4: Calculate moles
Compound 1
Moles O = 50.48 grams / 16.0 g/mol = 3.155 moles
Moles Mn = 49.52 grams / 54.94 g/mol = 0.9013 moles
Compound 2
Moles O = 36.81 grams / 16.0 g/mol = 2.301 moles
Moles Mn = 63.19 grams / 54.94 g/mol = 1.150 moles
Step 5: calculate mol ratio
We will divide by the smallest amount of moles
Compound 1
O: 3.155/0.9013 = 3.5
Mn: 0.9013 / 0.9013 = 1
Mn2O7
Compound 2
O: 2.301 / 1.150 = 2
Mn: 1.150 / 1.150 = 1
MnO2
The number ratio is 2:3.5 or 4:7
I believe the answer is 65.254%
In order to synthesize a complex organic molecule, the
chemist should at least illustrate or imagine the bonds that are in need to be
cut down or to separate in order to obtain the compound that can be easily
changed.
